PROLOGUE
"So, ya still sleeping, huh, miss?"
"Hmm?"
I rubbed my eyes open to see a young girl in her teens facing me. She had a childish look-red schoolgirl outfit, red headband, black boots, two ponytails fastened with golden bands. The only thing sinister about her-a large, black gun-holder hanging from her bejewled belt.
And something that entirely shocked me way more than her gun-she had RED eyes...
Those eyes-I'd know them ANYWHERE...
Was she...Could she be...?
She must've seen the startled look on my face, for she rolled her eyes and continued blabbing.
"Yeah, it's my style. Do YOU have a problem with it?" She pouted and then turned her head away, glancing once to see my reaction, and then giggling.
"Just humoring ya!"
I smiled, then tried to get up-only to be met with a sharp pain in my ribs.
"Unh!"
"Whoa! Take it easy! You were lying on the road all unconcious and bleeding-we found you while driving to my house-I was like 'wat the heck a woman lying on the road?' and my bestie was like 'lets take her home-' "
An adolecent male's voice interrupted her "Yuki-don't talk THAT much."
The door opened and in walked a lean young man about the girl's age. He had sparkling blue eyes, fair skin, and brownish-black hair that was spiked this way and that. He held a huge mug of steaming liquid in front of me. I gladly-no-GREATFULLY accepted it and began sipping it.
The boy sat down in a chair facing the bed I was seated in. He observed me for a moment before cheerfully putting in "Hmm-you seem hungry. You fine now?"
I nodded, and then continued sipping.
"Right..SO, anyways, I think she explained to you how you were found-"
"I WAS GETTING TO THE END WHEN YOU CUT IN!"
"Yeah, but according to what I was hearing DOWN THE HALL, you had explained enough for her to understand-"
"ZACK-"
"How many times will I tell you its ZACHARY-my dad's..name...was Zack-"
There was a long pause before the boy named Zachary piped up.
"I guess you've got it figured out already-I'm Zachary and she-"
I interrupted him. "Yes. You're Zachary and she's Yuki. I was found while you were driving her to her house-unconscious on the road all bleeding and stuff-yup, I got it figured out, all right..."
He nodded, looking down. There was more silence. Yuki walked over and stood behind Zachary, placing her arms around his neck and lightly kissing the top of his head.
Zachary smiled, then ruffled her hair.
"I hope she didn't bother you too much-"
"Oh common! She just woke up! I didn't say much-right m'am?"
"YUKI! You're doing it again!"
"WHAAAaaaa?"
I chuckled at their arguement-they reminded me of a time when I, too, had such petty, small quarrels with someone.
Someone that really mattered...
Someone, who'd made a promise...before he went away...
CHAPTER ONE-Age 17
It was raining lightly outside. The light, dewy raindrops pelted my silver hoodie.
"No matter what, I HAVE to reach his house! I'm already too late!"
"Okay honey, but don't catch a cold!"
"'Kay Mom!"
"And please, take your-"
But before I could listen to the rest, I'd ran off.
Now, I regret to have never taken my umbrella.
GAH! I smell so DAMP-like wet dogs! What'll Vince think when I walk into his mansion like THIS?
By the time I've reached his front step, it was raining like all of the Mississippi River was poured into the clouds and then wrenched back out. I was drenched from head-to-toe; the hoodie didn't help much, since it's just a fashion hoodie that was only as long as my upper torso.
I rang the bell about a billion times and waited for someone to answer the door. Five minutes later, the door opened. Out walked Dr. Grimoire Valentine- ShinRa's greatest and most affluential scientist.
He looked at me and then grinned. "Welcome dear! Vincent was waiting for quite a while now!"
Then he scratched his beard, mostly speaking to himself "I wonder what he's up to..he didn't really tell me much..."
"Er-yeah-Dr. Valentine. I was kinda caught up in something..."
"Oho! I undertand! No worries-though I'm afraid Vincent was growing quite impatient, so he-!"
"OH NO! I BETTER GET TO HIS ROOM-oh, by the way, where are you going Dr. Valentine?"
Grimoire breathed in deeply before replying
"Ahhh, today is the first day I shall begin the research and studies of the OMEGA and CHAOS theories. Though I'll be coming home now and then, after a few weeks I'll be so caught up I'll be staying at ShinRa most of the time-"
"Oh! Well, wish you luck, Dr. Valentine!"
"Heheh, thanks! Bye dear!"
With that, I shut the door behind me and rushed up the long staircase to Vincent's room.
His door was ajar, so I began to push it open-only to be met by a sudden sight-
Vincent was standing in front of a long mirror-naked!
...Well, not really. I stood silently behind the door, watching him.
A maroon towel was wrapped loosely around his lean, slightly-abbed waist. His hair was dripping wet and he was towel-drying himself with a seperate towel.
After using it, he tossed the towel aside and shook his medium-length, jet-black, layered hair with his hands, smoothing it back with his palms.
Then, he picked up a can of cologne and, shutting his deep red eyes, he sprayed himself all over. I examined his body, muscular but not too burly; still glittering all over with small drops of water.
What the hell am I doing? I thought, I didn't come all the way here just to ogle at my friend!
So, once again, I began to open the door when he suddenly stopped spraying himself. I froze in my place-he placed the cologne back on the table. And then, after a long, silent pause, he turned and began swiftly walking towards the door-right where I was standing!
OHSHIT! I FORGOT HE HAS SPIDEY SENSE!
I began to back away-but, too late to hide myself-Vincent swung the door open-a peeved expression on his face.
I giggled nervously, my face erupting into a huge, shameful and apologetic grin.
Vincent placed both hand on his hips. "Hm. Where were you? And why are you standing out here?"
"Eh..." I pointed at the towel still wrapped around him.
He looked down and exclaimed, his eyes widening. And then, grabbing me by the wrist, he dragged me into the room and plopped me onto his bed.
Taking the extra towel, he draped that around his shoulders, then turned to face me.
"L-look! I don't know WHERE THE HELL you were at this whole morning, or WHY THE HELL you was just standing out there OGLING me while I'd come out to dress-"
"DUDE! YOU left the door like, about, HALF OPEN! And I WAS NOT ogling you! It was stupid of you to leave it half-open like that! Anyways, I was busy the whole mornin-"
"SANA! You could've called up and told me you'd be late! And why-WHY didn't you just TELL me the door was open? What if you saw more than you needed to?"
I felt my face redden at that thought, and then looked down.
"I-look-I'm sorry Vince..."
He shook his head. "It's fine. Though, you missed the whole audition I did-"
"Oooh! How'd it go-"
"LATER! Lemme go put on some clothes-before you get any WRONG ideas and try something on me-"
I threw the shirt and pants he'd picked out at him, and was about to throw a pillow when he quickly retrieved to his personal bathroom, slamming the door behind him.
"DUDE! What do you think I am? A RAPE ARTIST?"
A muffled reply came from his bathroom "I HOPE NOT!"
"Grrr-VIIINCEEEENT!"
"Haha! Just kidding, Sana!"
I punched the bed once, seething with annoyance from Vincent's remarks. But after a few moments, I found myself smiling, his teasing already forgiven.
The bathroom door finally opened. Vincent walked out wearing a black t-shirt and jeans. He ran his hands through his hair one more time before taking a seat next to me.
"Alright, so tell me now-where were you?"
"Ehh, MOM kept me busy with chores. Rather than an undercover reporter for Midgar Live, its more like I'm getting educated for being a house maid." I stuck out my tongue at the thought, then quickly asked "Sooo, how'd it go?"
He did a crooked smile, and then replied
"It was exciting-the judges were doing a stand-up obation by the time I finished the last measure."
"Well, that's great!" I stood on the bed, jumping with joy for his accomplishment.
"IMAGINE! Vincent Valentine-the awsumest, ass-jacking musician who plays BOTH the violin and guitar the best in ALL of Gaia! His poster hanging in EVERY single tween chick's bedroom! " I did a final spin and then fell on my back.
I turned to see his expression. He had a distant look in his crimson eyes; his smile began to falter.
I sat back up and put my hands on his shoulders. "Hey-whoa what's wrong Vince?"
He scoffed softly, then looked into my eyes-a strong gesture that was too unbearable to handle.
"I did this audition without telling Father, and you know how he feels about my future job..."
I thought for a minute, then remembered the past arguement Vincent had with Dr. Valentine...
"I DON'T WANT MY SON TO BECOME SOME REJECTED GUITAR PLAYER OF SOME LOW-CLASS BAND!"
"BUT FATHER, YOU KNOW IT'S MORE THAN JUST THAT-"
"I WANT YOU TO BECOME A SCIENTIST-YOU'LL BE MORE RICHER AND ACKNOWLEDGED LIKE ME-"
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT-"
"YOU ARE GOING TO WORK FOR SHINRA AND THAT'S FINAL, VINCENT!"
The arguement was quite fiery-I'd never seen more furious than he was that night.
Nor Vincent-the rage he showed towards his father was visible in his eyes-they seemed to burn and light up with anger...
"Father will never agree-he won't let the album release-"
"OH Vincent! Don't be so negative! Everything'll go fine-Im sure!"
I hugged him loosely, then pulled him up.
"Now, to celebrate your sucess-" I clicked my tongue and snapped both fingers at him. "YOU'LL have to treat me to sommo that newly-arrived CherryZest Midgar Electrik Slurpee!"
He scoffed. "Why do I have to buy all the expensive stuff all the time?"
"Duh, because on our happy circle, YOU are the only that's FIIILLLTHAAAYY RICH! Now, lets go get Genesis and the others-"
"BUT-"
"NOPE! IM NOT GONNA LISTEN-LALALALALLAAAAAAAAA-"
"Oh fine! Though you better get only ONE serving-I didn't recieve enough pocket money-Father went against it."
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever-now lets go abduct some Electrik Slurpee!"
I grabbed his arm and then dragged him out of the house.
"Whoa Sana! SLOW down!"
"NOPE! I wanna Slurpee and I want it NOW Mr. Filthy-Rich Valentine!"
"Heheh..Your wish is my command then, Ms. Slurpee-Obsessed Blackheart."
"You know, that was kinda-er-lame, Vince-"
"Meh...Whatever..."
